My Coconino has RS 685 levers, 785 calipers, 8000 derailleurs, and 6800 crankset. Actually the FD is a 9100 because 8000 was on back order at the time. The FD is excellent, 9100 and 8000 look and work identical, the setup isn't that intuitive, but I've never had a FD work this well. The 8000 RD is swoopy in a Dura-Ace way.
I'm a campy guy, but for gravel bikes, Shimano is the path I took. Now my travel tool box has a Ultegra/XT chain, cassette, and bottom bracket cups.
